Skype 2.0 makes it possible to make and receive free, great quality video calls with much improved audio and ease of use while doing away with hundreds of bugs found in the earlier version. It is available in 20 languages and allows users to make calls from their computer for free to other people in Skype with great low rates on phones and mobiles across the world. Aside from being able to make free video calls to just about anyone in one’s contact list, group chat for up to 150 people and conference calls for up to 25 people can be accommodated.
